Winter Bike to Work day and bike delivery

12.4.2011

Just because there’s snow on the ground doesn’t mean you have to put up your bike for the season. FC Bikes is putting on a Winter Bike to Work day with 17 breakfast stations sponsored by almost 50 local businesses. And if we expect you to get out there and ride your bike, we’re going to prove that we will too by offering Free Bike Delivery to be delivered on Bike to Work day. If you want us to bike something to you, use promo code BIKEIT at checkout. Please refer to our bike delivery zone before ordering.

To help with the temp on your morning commute, we decided to make the bike to work shirt a bike to work sweatshirt in addition to the tshirt. $4 of each sweatshirt sale and $2 of each tshirt sale will be donated to the Fort Collins Bikes program to help improve your daily commute in the future.

Bike to Work Week and Bike Accessories

06.21.2011

Fort Collins Bike to Work Day is tomorrow and so far we’ve raised almost $200 for the Fort Collins Bike Co-op! You have until the end of June to buy your bike t-shirt and benefit the Fort Collins Bike Co-op. You can buy your bike tshirts here. That also means that today is the last day to put in your order to be hand-delivered by yours truly by bike tomorrow (June 22nd). Don’t live in Fort Collins city limits? Surprise a friend with a bike-delivered gift! Just choose By Bike as your delivery method by 10pm tonight and you’ll get added to our route.

We also are joining up with Big Shot Bikes and the Fort Collins Emergency Vet Clinic to host a Bike to Work Day breakfast station on the Poudre Trail at Riverside and Lemay. Come say hi, buy your bike shirt, and snag a La Luz burrito on your way to work (or another breakfast station).

With all this BikeStravaganza Frenzy going on, we’ve been inspired to create some bike pendants and necklaces. We have both bike scrabble pendants and laser-cut acrylic bike necklaces (modeled above by Houdini) rolling in on the site soon. Check them out in our Jewelry and Accessories section.

Bike to Work Tees and Bike Delivery!

06.6.2011

Northern Colorado bike month is back and that means so are our Bike Tees and Bike Delivery programs! The bike to work tee were so successful last year that we made several different bike t-shirt design options for you this year! You can see them all in our featured bike t-shirt product page. As last year, $2 of each Bike to Work t-shirt sold will be donated to the Fort Collins Bike Co-op.

Plus, now that we are in the month of June, local Fort Collins shoppers can choose to have their order delivered “By Bike” during checkout. This offers free shipping and we will personally bike your order to your house on Bike to Work Day, June 22nd. If the demand is there, we will be keeping Bike Delivery available as an option for the rest of the summer as well.

In addition to these things, this year we are teaming up with Big Shot Bikes and Fort Collins Emergency Vet Hospital to host a breakfast station on Bike To Work Day. Our breakfast station will be located along the Poudre Trail at Riverside and S. Lemay.

Akinz Bike to Work Event

06.9.2010

I bike to work everyday. I don’t own a car… sold it last winter as it was collecting dust in our parking garage. But, that being said… to bike to work for me is a 2 block jaunt and we live in Old Town Fort Collins, so everything is pretty much a stone’s throw away. Therefore, for Bike to Work Day, I wanted to do something exciting with our company.

So, what would be fun to do on Bike to Work Day? Bike, of course! Starting now up until June 22nd at 9:00pm, if you order online and live in the Fort Collins area (which we’re defining as between Vine and Harmony and Taft Hill and Timberline) you can choose “By Bike” as your FREE BIKE SHIPPING method and an Akinz representative will deliver your purchase by bike on Bike to Work day. Check out the Bike Delivery Zone map to the right for visual clarification.

Then we got excited about the event and since we make t-shirts, we started wondering about a bike t-shirt for the day… so we’re making a special “Commuter Tee” for a Bike Month promotion. Now when you order $50 or more online during June, we’re throwing in one of these sweet t-shirts for free. Also, $2 of each Commuter Tee purchase is being donated to the Fort Collins Bike Co-op. We’ll even donate the $2 when you earn a free t-shirt by buying $50 or more of gear. The t-shirts are available in 2 colorways in both womens and mens fit and are for sale now online.




Stay tuned for more details as we will be setting up a breakfast station on Bike to Work Day as well. You will also be able to pick up the t-shirts at The Wright Life starting June 15th.
